I know lions are lazy. Actually male lions are the laziest creatures on the planet :)

Well, that's a hell of a role model to live up to!

How about furries who have "lion" as their chosen species, though? Are they lazy?

That's not laziness! It's a finely-honed and well-judged policy of minimising routine energy consumption to avoid as far as possible the bodily risk and wear of hunting.

You are a wise, wise man.

My character would probably think, about my own species: "I wish I was OK with being as lazy as you guys ( ... )

Lions are lazy...

I'd copy your 10 stereotypes and use them as my own, but that takes too much effort... ;)

Touché!

Like so many other stereotypes, some of them are more true than others for different people. As for me, Sometimes I think I'm horny enough for sex 100x a day :(

Actually, I've not heard a whole lot of furry stereotyping at all beyond the standard subby-fox bit. I guess I'm not into furry enough or something.

branwyn September 12 2008, 22:29:52 UTC

*chuckles* Well, that was the point of the meme, I think - to see which ones, if any, had truth in them. No stereotype is gonna apply in all cases, because then it's not a stereotype. :)

As for furry stereotypes, the subby fox one is definitely the biggest. But there are others, although they may be more regional. I know people who really hate people who chose certain species. I know people who claim that anyone playing a mythological creature (unicorn, dragon) or hybrid (fox-wolf aka folf, liger, etc.) is actually crazy. And so on.
